I just got my 1st hog set up. Dive rite back plate and harness and wing and sta. I put it together and everything works great except with the sta the bolt seems to be a bit to short. i cant get the lock washer and wing nut on together. anyone else have this problem?
I don't have that particular BP/W, but when I need a longer bolt I go get one. Just get a stainless bolt or you will be replacing it sooner, keep the old one 'cause you might need it later with a different configuration.

I use lock washers. The bolt going through the grommeted hole in the harness always seems to be short. Just get a longer one but make sure it is stainless.

"They called themselves Guerrilla Divers.
Composed of elite divers with Macho mentalities, back when men were men, and FEAR was a lispy companion of the common Man. It was a time before insurance liabilities, lawsuits or beauracratic regulation of the "sport". Guerrilla divers didn't need "Buoyancy Compensator Vests". In fact, "Anyone who needs a BC deserves to drown" was a popular adage. Exploration and the Hunt came first, excitement and fun followed. Safety was the stepchild of fitness, good reflexes and a cool head.
This was a time of great Adventure." www.sfdj.com
It's likely the grommet thickness. Once you get a longer bolt and assemble everything together, it may compress the grommet a little. The the original bolt will probably work.
Or you can compress the grommet yourself using other means.
I used to have a Dive Rite Venture wing, I remember this being the case with that wing.
